After saying that, Charlie then said again, "I heard a piece of gossip before. Some time ago, Jordan Fox and Kathleen Fox disappeared together. It was said on the internet that both of them were being pursued by Spencer. Now, it seems as though they were really being pursued at that time and were staying hidden at first. Currently, they have returned to the United States to regain control of the Fox family. This can also explain why Miss Jane... oh, no, I mean, Miss Fox, left without saying goodbye and suddenly disappeared. I guess the reason why she didn't contact you is because she was being pursued at that time."
Claire nodded lightly. Her depressed mood seemed to have eased a lot, and she said softly, "If that’s really the case, it's not easy for Miss Fox..."
Charlie nodded, smiled, and said, "You don't have to think too much. Since she has already become the head of the Fox family, she should not have any worries anymore. I believe that she will contact you soon and explain the situation to you personally."
Claire was somewhat embarrassed as she said, "To tell you the truth, I'm actually quite afraid that she will contact me...”
Charlie was puzzled and he asked, "Why is that?"
Claire said seriously, "She is not only the young lady of a top wealthy family, but she has also become the head of the family now. Compared to her, someone like me is simply mediocre. How could I be qualified to be her friend?"
Charlie said earnestly, "Honey, you shouldn't belittle yourself at any time. In my eyes, you are not inferior to anyone."
Having said that, Charlie smiled and said jokingly, "Furthermore, you may think that the other party is the young lady of a wealthy family and so, you cannot match up to her, but others might also feel that they cannot match up to you because you are Master Wade's wife."
Claire thought that Charlie was just teasing her and so, she could not help but say jokingly, "Do you really think that you're a master just because a few people are calling you Master Wade? To tell you the truth, ever since you began helping others take a look at their Feng Shui, I have always been worried that you would be arrested by the police one day... I've even dreamt about you being arrested, not just once or twice, now..."
Charlie laughed and said, "Honey, you can rest assured. When it comes to such a thing as Feng Shui, both sides have to be willing parties. So, how could the police arrest me?"
Claire nodded and said, “Later, I found out that you had a very good relationship with your customers, and they also trust you. So, I'm not so worried."
Having said that, she asked Charlie," Honey, are you still going to New York today?”
"Yes.” Charlie said, "I'll go after I send you to school in a while. Miss Golding's first concert will start tomorrow, and I will have to take a look at her performance venue for her today."
Claire hurriedly asked, "Are we going to
New York to see her concert tomorrow, then?”
Charlie hesitated for a moment.
He had originally planned to take his wife to see Quinn's concert.
Moreover, he wanted to bring her to see both the concerts in New York and Boston.
However, since he had instructed Quinn to go to his grandmother's house to deliver the medicine to his grandfather, Charlie had been feeling a little worried.
He was not sure if his grandmother and the rest of her family would go to attend Quinn’s concert to support her out of gratitude toward her.
So, Charlie intended to take a look at the performance venue first when he went to New York today. If there was a VIP room with good privacy, it would be perfect. If not, he would have to consider coming up with a pretense to persuade his wife to give up on the concert in New York!
